FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2024 (Unaudited) Trade conditions, such as exacerbated supplier shutdowns and delays, contribute to this uncertainty. Additionally, Russia's military action in Ukraine, war in the Middle East, and related economic sanctions around the globe, could impact the company's ability to source necessary supplies and equipment which could materially and adversely affect its ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the company's ability to continue as a going concern may depend on its ability to raise capital, which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity. This may result in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the company or at all. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. To further improve its liquidity position, the company's management continues to explore additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. The company may be unsuccessful in its effort to secure additional equity financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amount or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.
